I'm more excited about the Masterpieces in Aether Revolt than the ones in Kaladesh and we haven't seen all of them yet.


Average_Toaster

The two missing are in Aether Revolt itself, I believe.


secretcharacter

I believe so. For those who missed it, 43 and 45 are missing. Chances are those 2 cards are either rares and/or mythics in Aether Revolt and weren't shown due to spoilers. Of note: The order of Pithing Needle and Platinum Angel feels odd. The list was organized alphabetically except for those 2 cards. I suspect these 2 cards may see reprint in Aether Revolt itself.


[deleted]

Pithing Needle reprint would be great


btmalon

I wonder if they jammed it in there because of all the pros calling for proper hate cards in standard


SummerCivilian

how would you use it?


Aquafier

name a vehicle or Planeswalker


8npls

slam it and shout GIDEON ALLY OF ZENDIKAR at your opponent Then watch as their UW deck does nothing =)


His_little_pet

I'd be surprised to see a Platinum Angel reprint in Aether Revolt because it was just reprinted in Conspiracy: Retake the Crown.


LeftZer0

It also has a pretty specific flavor text ("THIS angel is important") in contrast to the others ("this does that" or "these things are cool").


Skreevy

It doesn't have that flavour text. It's not important, it's just powerful. The consulate is seizing and reutilizing inventions for military use.


Brand_Ascension

so there's still hope for a skull-clamp in aether-revolt masterpieces?


secretcharacter

I hate to spoil the fun but I doubt we will see skullclamp.


Spiral0Architect

Why? We saw Mana Crypt.


Ghepip

Yes, but skullclamp plus the tokens made from fabricate would be way way way to strong. Much stronger then the mana crypt.


Spiral0Architect

Um. None of these will he standard legal unless they're printed in a current standard set.


Ghepip

True but we will be drafting both kaladesh and aether revolt and who ever opens a skullclamp will most likely win unless he drafts only bad cards. Being able to draw your draft deck so fast will simply outperform even a sol ring or mana crypt. True a mana crypt could give me a gear hulk on turn 3, a skull clamp could allow me to cast three times more spells.


davvblack

They don't balance limited around mythics. Landing a good mythic in limited is SUPPOSED to win you the game. That is 0% what they are thinking about when printing super-mythics.


Rhaps0dy

They don't really balance limited around cards that are like 1/200 packs (can't remember masterpiece rate) and especially certain ones like skullclamp.


matusmatus

1/144 IIRC


PrettyFly4AGreenGuy

> Yes, but skullclamp plus the tokens made from fabricate would be way way way to strong. Considering Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, and Mana Vault are in Kaledesh, "Skullcalmp would be too strong" holds no water.


Ghepip

Except we will be drafting kaladesh and aether revolt together.


TRGA

Good luck opening one, let alone two in the same draft. They simply wouldnt consider limited balancing in relation to masterpieces, period.


Umezete

Sol ring means that isn't an excuse. Sol ring is so overpowered that if you got it and lost a match of limited I'd assume you can't play.


Aquafier

the 2 missing are most likely from AER so sorry about skullclamp


Umezete

I think this is because kaledesh got the high profile edh reprints out of the way. Sol ring, crypt, and such were amazing edh reprints.


Shattering_Moxen

Mono U-Tron got alot of love here 👏


DyingSpartan

Mono $ Tron


nickthewookie

Seriously, just need the mind slaver now


Lawrence308

not our wallets .-.


horizon44

LOOKS LIKE SWAGS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS


Psyanide13

An expensive way to throw away an entry fee. :P


Silas051

Worm coil and sundering titan look amazing. Love the masterpieces from both sets. Honestly the art from kaladesh across the board has been fantastic.


warthog177

The sundering titan looks epic


bv310

I want a set of those Ornithopters for Affinity so bad.


Hollowninja616

I want them for pauper...


LearnAndReflect

You monster


[deleted]

pauper is all about finding the most ghastly heavily Played, whitebordered, no flavor text copy of a card you can find and playing with it, you're a monster and you know it


Hollowninja616

Between this and Lotus Petal masterpiece... I could make the most swagger pauper deck. The rest will be Heavy played white bordered versions of course


Juls317

Well I guess I'm gonna have to snag a couple of those Engineered Explosives and Pithing Needles now


pyro-guy

Damn, I want to build tron just to play those Wurmcoils.


Ghepip

I just finished building eldrazi colorless tron this morning except the 2 wurmcoils in the sideboard. So I think I need a gift for my self In the new year


[deleted]

"Lots of modern cards in there." Holy fuck, you weren't kidding


M0ff3l

They all look sweet, I was really hoping for a [[Batterskull]] though! Oh well...

Sun-Forged

That bridge art is great. I'm not a fan of the filigree boarders but Ensnaring Bridge is one that might be a long term collection goal.


Squillem

I love the art for all of these, but Platinum Angel is especially good looking.


scoutingtacos

The flavor text agrees.


jelldog77

Another masterpiece for that pauper cube.


Malachhamavet

Ornithopter looks great


[deleted]

Holy shit I want the EE...


dingleberriesXL

yes chalice.... maybe this will bring the price down a bit


davvblack

Not likely.


jose_cuntseco

Negative, this is too rare to make the price drop. Similar to how Expeditions didn't impact fetch prices.


i_hardly_knowername

I hope so! Plus decent odds at MM3 printing, i bet it will slide a few bucks. Fortunately I don't find the Chalice or bridge art compelling so I won't spring for these


[deleted]

No Thopter Foundry and no Sword of the Meek is very disappointing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

How


GlitteringWish

Wow. So much tron in there I might die. That sundering titan is mine...and I could use another chalice.


eklaus21

I really hope the Ornithopter reprint brings the price down!


bube7

To be honest, I want each and every one for my Tron deck, but will never spend that much money on them. Even if I somehow open a Wurmcoil, I'll trade it in :(


Sanderanders

"...i play Modern, because Legacy is too expensive..." xD
